Events of default include the failure to pay principal and interest when due, a material breach of a representation or warranty, certain non-payments or defaults under other indebtedness, covenant defaults, events of bankruptcy and a change of control. Certain covenants contained in the credit agreement restrict our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring additional debt or making acquisitions, if we are unable to meet a maximum total Net First Lien Leverage Ratio (consolidated indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA) of 5.00 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
